respected, we all worked closely with him. with our differences, but nonetheless, respectful of getting results. chris: with the defeat of repeal and replace this week in the senate, do you think that the republican effort to kill obamacare is dead? well, the american people have spoken. i think that what you saw was just an outpouring of stories of how the affordable care act affected their lives. so where do we go from here chris: but let me just say, you say the american people have spoken. they put republicans in charge of the house, republicans in charge of the senate, republican in the white house all running on repeal and replace. you could argue that they spoke and washington didn t listen. well, they no, i m talking about since the election, they had seen what the replace might be, and they had rejected that overwhelmingly. people see what it means in their lives. i think it s really important for us to recognize the facts here, that what the republicans were putting f
with russia on these hacks. it has to do with his paperwork. that s what we know so far. sandra: i also want you to react to the former head of the cia john brennan describing the conversation that he had with the head of russian intelligence. listen to this. american voters would be outraged by any russian attempts to interfere in the election if russia pursued this course, it would destroy any chance for improved relations, even on matters of mutual interest. sandra: hmm. ari? well, he s right. but russia didn t listen, of course, to the obama administration, did they? i long for the day where people hesitated to do something like this to america because the consequences would be severe. once president obama had thought that russia was doing this, we should have hurt the russians where it would hurt the most, financially or involving some people close to putin to send a
kirk liphold is with us now. seems to me we re not backing down. president trump seems to be taking a more forward approach. the carrier is there, the missile defense is there. the joint exercises are there. this is a new approach, isn t it, from president trump? actually it s not, stuart. we ve had this routine exercise we ve done for years with the aircraft carrier and the rest of the ships to be there and conduct this exercise with south korea. it s routine. so the fact that north korea is wants to do these merciless attacks on us, that s the same language that we hear every time. didn t we move a missile defense system right in there and we have not done that before? that s a forward approach, isn t it? very much so. that s sending strong signal, not just to north korea but to the chinese as well.
here s a treat. great optimism in america and the results will be even better. if the tax cuts don t come soon, will the good vibes turn bad? heath manning from the independent women s forum and charlie gasparino from the fox business network. this is a show-me economy, a show-me stock market. he has to get it done this year. yeah, i think so. i think we should back up and give him more credit on something else. president obama was essentially at war with corporate america. he attacked them as fat cats. beat them up. when he had business meetings with ceo, he had a council of businessmen that he met with. he used to arrive late, leave early, lecture. they used to call it the. three ls, arrive early, leave late and lecture. and didn t listen. so trump goes in there as a businessman, he listens to them.
washington during black history month, it seems to me they are optically moving through this. we just saw the first lady there with netanyahu s wife. this museum took 13 years to build and create, and this is some of the first visitors it opened in september, but the first high-profile visitors, and it s interesting to hear how decisions are made at the white house and who has the president s ear, and this is amarosa. yeah, and she has been advising him on outreach to the african-american community and others, and you see her sitting along the side room of staffers when sean spicer gives his briefings in the press briefing room. listen, you guys know, nothing ends up on the president of the
